The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Gregory's POV
[Gregory’s POV]The sound of machines beeping drifts in and out of my haze, drawing me from the darkness that I’m in and bringing me above the water that is threatening to drown me. Gasping, my eyes fly open so that I can take in a plain white roof with a ceiling fan lazily rotating.“Wah,” I grunt, beginning to look around so I can see that this isn’t a hospital room. Instead, it looks like a normal bedroom minus the hospital equipment inside it. “What the hell?”“You awake?”The voice is deep and gruff, nothing like anyone I’ve heard before, which just adds to my confusion.“Or are you delirious?”Frowning, I shift my gaze to where the voice is coming from so that I find a man sitting in a corner with one leg crossed over the other and an expectant look in his eyes.“Who…” I begin, but stop as a wave of dizziness hits me. “What the fuck is this?”“I wouldn’t push yourself too hard.” The man announces, getting up and heading my way. “You’ve been out for a few days.”A few days.

The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Take Care Of Him
[Gabrielle’s POV]A few days pass since the incident with Gregory, and I can’t help but feel myself drifting into a false sense of security. Even if one issue was gone, there were still more waiting for us. One being Trent’s fake fiance, who hadn’t left his side since arriving. And although he made it clear that there was nothing between them and she did the same, I couldn’t stop the feel of possession and jealousy I felt when she was near.Of course, Rachelle was always ready to point out how I was acting any chance she got, and by the time Trent was discharged from the hospital, I was more than ready to get away from all the unnecessary bystanders.At least, that was how I felt, but who knew that the fake fiance would go as far as staying in town for the time being due to work that she had to complete? I mean, who was I to get mad that she would be in the same area? It wasn’t like she would be under the same roof.Wrong. Even after being discharged, she followed us back to Trent’s h
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Give Us A Try
[Trent’s POV]I keep my gaze fixed on Gabby, waiting for her to try to say I didn’t hear correctly, or that she was just talking out of her ass in order to get Katie to stop bothering me, but she doesn’t. She doesn’t move, doesn’t speak, and doesn’t even try to explain why it happened. However, by the look in her eyes, I know that things between us are about to change.“Should I take your silence as an affirmation of your feelings?” I ask her when I reach.Growing quiet, I wait while she studies me, her eyes filled with an emotion that I haven’t seen in so long in person but have seen so many times in my dreams.“Gabby,” I whisper, reaching out and running a hand along her cheek. “You can’t leave me hanging here, not after I heard such things.”I was certain she didn’t know just what hearing that did to me. How much freer it made me feel, how much weight was suddenly lifted off of me. A weight so damn heavy it threatened to crush me so many times these past ten years. One that even tr
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. BONUS CHAPTER: Katie's POV
[Katie’s POV][Katie’s POV]I head out to my car, my mind reeling and my heart hurting as I remember Trent standing there silently, not even attempting to stop his first love from treating me badly, especially after how much I helped him when she left him broken. Why were things so different now?When I came to town, Trudy assured me that there wasn’t anything going on between Trent and that woman, but her assurance was clearly wrong since they weren’t only together in that wreck, but the entire time they were in the hospital, and she never once left his side.Pushing aside the hurt that I feel, I climb into my car and then revv the engine before heading back to the condo that I’m staying in until I finish with my business here. At least, that much of my explanation for being here was true, but it wasn’t the only reason.I had found myself missing Trent recently, wanting to see his face, hear his voice, and see his smile. Even if he wasn’t hurt, I would have come, especially after I w
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Double Date
[Gabrielle’s POV]“Are you sure you’re up for this?”I eye Trent as he works to straighten the tie around his neck. A week has already passed since he was released from the hospital, and since his most recent scans were looking pretty normal, the doctor released him from bedrest. Of course, the minute that happened, Rachelle insisted that we go out to celebrate.“What?” He asks, lifting his gaze to mine. “Would you rather we stay here and...”“Not yet,” I sigh, though I wouldn’t be too opposed to getting to know Trent’s body on an intimate level, especially while he stood in front of me in a form-fitting suit, complete with wrist cuffs, a super expensive watch, and his messy hair slicked back. God, the man didn’t look like a snack; he looked like a whole damn meal.Trying to ignore the naughty thoughts racing through my mind, I move forward and grab Trent’s tie, then after a quick adjustment, I step back.“Perfect,” I grin, taking him in while pulling out my phone.“What are you doing
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. An Uninvited Guest
[Gabrielle’s POV]I walk into the club with Trent at my side, his hand wrapped tightly around me, holding me against himself as if to show the world that I was his. I have to admit, I like it. I like the stares that follow us and the looks of jealousy from the women who are clearly upset that such a powerful man is no longer single.However, along with these looks, there are looks of disgust and even questioning, which I’m certain is from the rumor that Trent and Katie were engaged. I was certain those with these looks were thinking of me as a home wrecker, as the other woman, but as long as I knew the truth, I didn’t care.“They’re over there,” Trent murmurs, leaning in so close that his breath tickles my ear.Nodding, I look in the direction his gaze is in and find Rachelle and Hanson together playing some pool. They look so lovely together, with Rachelle holding the stick and Hanson attempting to guide her. It is easy to see the love between them even from here. Was that the way I
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Her Plan
[Katie’s POV]I stand outside of the room, listening as everyone present mocks me. It pisses me off, and I have the right mind to go in there and scold them, but in the end that would only make me look more like the villain. I needed to remain composed and in control so that Trent didn’t see me acting like a bitch again; one time was more than enough. That’s why I put a smile on my face now and then head inside, drawing all eyes to me.“Drink’s are here.” I announce moving forward. “Here you are.”Keeping my perfect smile in place, I move around, handing out drinks, making sure that the right ones went to the right people. And when I reach Gabrielle, I’m certain that she gets the one just for her before moving onto her friend; if I remember correctly, everyone called her Rachelle.“Here you are, Rachelle, right?”“That’s right.” She smiles, taking her drink. “And this man beside me is my boyfriend Hanson.”“It’s a pleasure,” I say, handing him a drink and then taking the final and hav
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Caught Red-Handed
[Trent’s POV]“Do you think they’re taking a bit?”Hanson’s question rings out around us, filling the silence that has fallen in the room we sit together in. He was right; it had been a bit since the women went to the bathroom.“Maybe Gabby was worse off than we thought.” I mutter, panic growing. “I’m going to go check on her.”Maybe I was being a bit overprotective or just worrying for absolutely nothing, but I just couldn’t stop myself when it came to her.“Whipped.”The word is quiet, as is the chuckle that comes with it, but I don’t give two shits. He could call me what he wanted, and I would happily accept it.“Probably,” I admit, getting up and heading toward the exit. “I’ll be back.”Not waiting for a response, I head out into the hall and then toward the bathroom, where Gabby, Rachelle, and Katie should be. And when I reach, I don’t think twice before I’m heading in. However, I’m met with an empty space and empty stalls except for a single one.“Gabby.” I call, heading toward

The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Vacation Part 2
[Gabrielle’s POV]I wait and watch as Trent processes what I’ve just told him. Even with the dim light casting shadows on his handsome face, I can see the desire that is beginning to form there.Dammit. How in the world was he able to remain strong up until this point, and why did his sticking to his word make me feel both loved and rejected? I hated these swirling emotions that I never would have had when we were younger.Back then, I knew that I was in fact his everything and that he only thought of me and no one else, but now he had a taste of another woman, and that scared the shit out of me.Maybe that was why I was willing to push his buttons like this, testing the waters, seeing if I could break his strong resolve, even if it only caused me to continue coming up empty.“Dammit, Gabby,” Trent hisses, his eyes flashing with lust. “We’re already this close; why do you have to continue to try to tempt me?”“Because I’m insecure.” I whisper, unable to stand it any longer. “I hate th
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Vacation Part 1
[Trent’s POV]After our first night of passion, I slowly come to find that Gabby is insatiable. Anytime I turned around, she was wanting to touch me, to kiss me, and to do other things to me that drove me so fucking crazy but also excited me just the same.Was this need to constantly be attacking me stemming from how much she missed me? Or how much she cared about me? I wasn’t so sure, but despite all of this, we never went all the way. However, we did do many things, many, many things, on almost every surface of my home, and by the time the day of departure for our vacation came, I was almost ready to just take her right then and there on the plane.I was certain that she was feeling the same way as me, as I found her gaze locked on a certain part of me more than a few times. That’s why, by the time we landed at our destination, I was strongly considering skipping all the things I planned and just keeping her trapped in the bed with me all day and night, but I manage to remain under
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Only Me
[Gabrielle’s POV]I let a smile play on my lips as I pull Trent’s belt out of the way and start to undo his pants. As I move, I can feel the bulge that is forming there and know that despite his insistence he was fine, he wasn’t doing well at all.“You can stop me any time.” I whisper, slowly slithering my body down his until I’m on my knees in front of him. “I won’t make you do something you don’t want to.”Growing quiet, I wait as he stares down at me, taking me in with so much hunger it makes my heart and my core squeeze.God. I just wanted to jump this man. I wanted to see more of his expressions, see that desire for me in his eyes more. I wanted to breathe him in until I had my fill, but I didn’t think that would ever be happening.“Is your silence the go ahead?” I giggle, hooking my fingers in his now-loose pants.For a moment, I don’t move while he just continues to stare at me, and when he lifts his hips, I know that he isn’t going to stop me, not this time.Smiling seductivel
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Need
[Gabrielle’s POV]I sit in Trent’s lap, listening to the sound of his strong heartbeat as the silence of the room around us settles in. We’ve been sitting here just like this for a while, probably because Trent is waiting for me to make the first move to show that I’m okay.After having our night out ruined by Katie, our group split ways, each going to their respective homes so that Rachelle and I could rest and recuperate from what happened to us. And even though I was thankful to be in the safety of the home that Trent and I shared, I couldn’t help but wonder whether or not anything was being done to Katie after what she did.Deciding that wasn’t what was important right now, I curl in closer to Trent and close my eyes.“Are you sure you’re okay?”How many times now has Trent asked me this very question? For most of the ride home, he asked me, and although I insisted I was fine, he wouldn’t drop it, which was both endearing and a little frustrating.“I am.” I say quietly, lifting my
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. A Failed Plan
[Katie’s POV]I stare in disbelief as Trent glares at me. How could he look at me so hatefully? This was all that bitches fault!“Trent!” I repeat, reaching out in an attempt to touch him only to be stopped by a look of warning.“I said I’d deal with you later.” He repeats slowly while pulling the bitch closer against him. “So, I suggest you come up with a damn good story.”Finished speaking, he turns and begins to move while I’m left standing in place with the two that not only failed to complete the mission they were given but would also incriminate me if they were to be taken away and questioned.Knowing that I couldn’t possibly let that happen, I pull my phone out of my pocket and immediately dial Oscar, knowing that he will help me deal with this.“Hello, beautiful.” He chuckles the minute he picks up. “Tell me, are you the one responsible for the trouble I’m suffering?”“And if I am?” I challenge.“You’ll have to repay me for my bailing you out.” He says slowly, and I don’t miss
